Yesterday we went to  Devil’s Porridge. It’s in Gretna and once we got there we saw guns and got to hold a stick grenade replica. We got to wear a bunch of hats and helmets. In WW1 a bunch of Irish navvies built the munition factory and made cordite. It is made with cotton  jelly water and drowned in petrol. 20.000 girls came to work there. We also learned about the Gretna girls how they  lived and what they did in their spare time. They had their own football, hockey and tennis teams.

I really enjoyed the trip and want to go again.
